Chapter 193: Chapter 193 - The Little One Gets A Little Sister

Yu Qishan’s face seemed to turn white one moment and red the next. “Xiangnian, whose side are you on now?!”

“That doesn’t matter, Grandfather.” Yu Xiangnian looked at Li Shaoling. “The important thing here is my hopes that my cousin wouldn’t have to live out her days in hate right after we found her again. I’ve had enough—everyone’s had enough.”

Yu Qishan knew that Yu Xiangnian was right, but there was no way he would lose face as an elder just like that.

“Where is my Qing’er?” He snorted coldly. “Let me see her!”

Li Shaoling slowly took a seat on the sofa and said, “She’s sleeping. Or would you rather disturb her?”

Yu Qishan was left speechless by his irritation with the two men.

“Grandfather, please take a seat have some tea.” Yu Xiangnian helped Qishan to sit and brought him a cup of tea, smiling. “You don’t have to worry about Cousin either, because someone is taking care of her.”

“Care? Is this care!?” Yu Qishan slammed her palm down the table in annoyance. “How long has it been since I brought Qing’er home? And you’ve already kidnapped her!”

Li Shaoling stared back with composure. “Kidnap? She’s my wife and the mother of my son. You have a poor choice of words.”

“You aren’t married! She’s not your wife!”

“We’ll be married soon.”

“I won’t agree to it!”

Slam—

Li Shaoling had brusquely put his teacup on the table while his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Don’t try for a mile just because I gave you an inch. She’s my woman. No one will stop me from marrying her, much less you.”

“Don’t think you could challenge me just because you are a little capable, Li Shaoling!” Leaning on his crutch, Yu Qishan rose to his feet, his neck seemingly thickened in fury.

“I would answer your challenge, but you would end up six feet under before that.” Li Shaoling sneered.

“You—!” Though infuriated, Yu Qishan could only point at Li Shaoling but could not manage a word in comeback.

Nonetheless, Yu Xiangnian tried to reason with Yu Qishan. “Grandfather, you don’t have to bother yourself with the young ones. Either way, Cousin is not going to be happy if you separate them.”

“You’ve turned against me too?!”

Yu Qishan turned and left in his discontent.

Ji Weixi had been sleeping soundly when she faintly heard the arguing outside.

She knew at once that Yu Qishan had come to get her.

Even as she hesitated whether she should go out, Li Shaoling came in.

“Were you arguing?”

“Nope.”

Li Shaoling walked to her, taking her into his arms and kissed her as if it was natural.

Ji Weixi shoved her away, flushing. “I haven’t brushed my teeth.”

“I don’t hate it.”

She smiled at him then, and leaned into his arms and played with his fingers. “Do you think Grandfather would agree to us getting married?”

“I’m marrying you whether he agrees or not.” Li Shaoling’s reaction was extremely determined.

However, Ji Weixi lowered her head unhappily. “I was thinking... we won’t get his blessing if we insist on marrying.”

“That’s why I want to go back for a while,” she said, looking up. “I’ll ask for Grandfather’s blessing, because I don’t want you arguing away with him whenever you meet. I hope that he could agree to us marrying, and I want his blessing.”

Li Shaoling’s voice became quiet. “But I’ll miss you.”

“I’ll miss you too.”

She then bit her lip. “My hip hurts.”

“I’ll give you a massage.”

“My feet too.”

“I’ll rub it.”

Ji Weixi could not help giggling at how quickly and diligently he went to work. “Would you stay like this for the rest of my life?”

Li Shaoling’s lips curled in a gentle smile. “You’re the only woman I would protect with my life in this world.”

“You have such a sweet tongue.”

“Is that so?” Li Shaoling snuggled up, lifting a brow. “Have you tasted it?”

“Go away!”

Ji Weixi covered her face in shyness and embarrassment, while he gently rocked her in his arms. “When are we getting a daughter?”

“In a hurry?”

Li Shaoling grunted a yes. “Your grandfather can’t do anything against us if you get pregnant.”

“Are you trying to use children to threaten him?” Ji Weixi poked his thin lips with her finger. “You’re bad.”

“I’ve always been bad.” Li Shaoling replied with a mysterious look.

Omitted.

Two days later.

Ji Weixi returned to the Yu family’s residence and tried to have a levelheaded discussion with Yu Qishan.

He wouldn’t hear a word of it, however, and promptly locked her up instead.

“Great Grandpa, please let Mommy and Daddy be together!”

The little one tugged Yu Qishan’s hand and played cute even as he stared at the tightly shut room.

But Yu Qishan, having steeled himself to separate Ji Weixi and Li Shaoling was not having it.

As such, the little one quickly whipped out his phone and called Li Shaoling. “Oh no, Daddy! Great Grandpa locked Mommy up! Hurry up!”

Li Shaoling arrived very swiftly, demanding her the moment he entered. “Return her.”

“Why? She’s my granddaughter.”

“Why, you ask? She’s my woman.”

“I’m declaring right now that she’s not yours! Now get out of my sight!”

“Breaking us up, huh?” Li Shaoling said as he entered the house, taking off his coat.

Yu Qishan glared at him. “What are you doing?!”

Slamming the coat on the sofa, Li Shaoling then sat on it like a big shot. “I’m not leaving if you’re not letting her go.

Thus, the battle between Yu Qishan and Li Shaoling began!

Yu Qishan was never letting Ji Weixi go, just as Li Shaoling was never leaving.

He would simply freeload meals out of the Yu family as the little one cheered him on.

“Daddy, I never thought that you are so thick-skinned!”

Indeed, it was the good life for Li Shaoling: eating food right off the Yu family’s table and having Ji Weixi in his arms as they slept at night.

Soon, two weeks passed.

After the nutritionist had finished preparing breakfast, Ji Weixi arrived at the dining table in Li Shaoling’s arms to eat.

Yu Qishan was immediately annoyed the moment he saw Li Shaoling’s face, but Ji Weixi suddenly clasped her hand over mouth and made a wild dash for the toilet when he was about say something.

The sounds of dry heaving left the men trading looks.

Still, Li Shaoling reacted first, and quickly headed to the toilet to gently rub her back.

Tears were appearing over Ji Weixi’s eyes. She gargled, but she was still feeling discomfort.

Li Shaoling’s eyes brightened. “Could you be pregnant?”

Ji Weixi did a double take. “I’m not sure.”

Yu Qishan quickly got asked for the Yu family’s doctor to check, and it turned out to be true.

The news left Yu Qishan frozen stiff, thunderstruck.

“Oh yeah! I’m going to have a little sister!” The little one was beside himself with joy and running circles around the vast living room of the Yu family’s residence, before latching himself to Ji Weixi’s belly before Li Shaoling could.

The little one also finally let go of his opinion that Li Shaoling was impotent.

Ji Weixi smiled at Li Shaoling then.

Like a child about to receive some important gift, he was down on one knee and gently sticking his ear on her belly, looking a little upset.

“Why can’t I hear a thing? Does our daughter hate me?”

“...She’s the size of a bean. It would be scary if she reacts.”

Do men’s IQ drop when they’re too happy about becoming a dad?

Nonetheless, Li Shaoling happily picked her up and whirled a few circles, while it was some time before the little one could stop laughing.

Yi Xiangnian was smiling too, and only Yu Qishan was looking as upset as being force fed a pile of dung.

***

Later that night, Li Shaoling and Yu Qishan spoke in the study.

The conversation lasted two hours before the men came out, one after another.

Ji Weixi stood and walked to Li Shaoling, holding his hand while he tenderly stroked her belly with a nice smile.

Yu Qishan snorted coldly at Li Shaoling, but he eventually spoke although he was reluctant. “Hurry up with the wedding! It’ll be too late if Qing’er becomes heavily pregnant!”

Ji Weixi moved closer to Li Shaoling to ask what they actually talked about, but Li Shaoling only offered a mysterious reply.

“That’s our secret.”
